September 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm Rubbish computer. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dolph Ziggler, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Signing[edit]

You don't have to write your name after you make comments on talk pages: just write ~~~~ and your signature will automatically be generated, linking to your user page (although you currently don't have one) and user talk. Thanks, --Rubbish computer 17:17, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Mathieu Flamini, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Raheem Sterling. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 15:31, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Sergio Agüero. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Reference[edit]

Hi. First of all I am happy that you asked for help. If you are not sure about something it is always good to ask and me and other editors will do their best to help.

About referencing you can try reading Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners as a good start and after that Wikipedia:Citing sources.

What you basically need to do is add something like

<ref>{{cite web |title=Regulations of the UEFA Champions League 2015/16 Season |url=http://www.uefa.org/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/23/57/51/2235751_DOWNLOAD.pdf |website=UEFA.com |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |date=1 May 2015 |accessdate=17 July 2015 }}</ref>

To explain the example I wrote above I can say that there are two tags, <ref> and </ref> that should always start and end references. Inside there are different templates that can be used, for example Template:Cite web as in my example. I that template there are different parameters that can be used, they are explained in Template:Cite web. The ones I normally use is listed in example above and they are

|title=header/title of the source
|url=link to webpage
|website=Title of the website; may be wikilinked; will display in italics
|publisher=Name of the publisher; may be wikilinked
|date=date when the source was written
|accessdate=date when you read and added the source

with the part in italics should be info about your source.

If you want an "empty" example to use, you can use this:

<ref>{{cite web |title= |url= |website= |publisher= |date= |accessdate= }}</ref>

If you have more questions feel free to ask. Qed237 (talk) 19:34, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
